Senior eLearning Designer Illumina Interactive

Uncovering the need is one thing, but organizing the
mountain of content from an SME is an ID’s nightmare. You have to keep the goal
in mind. Mind mapping helps you define the goal and align content to the
intended outcome.

In this session, you will learn how to leverage mind mapping
for (1) needs analysis brainstorming; (2) laying out the goals, outcomes, and
objectives of the course; and (3) aligning the assessment, content, and
activities you want to use in the course. In the end, you’ll leave with an easy
system for a course blueprint.

In this session, you
will learn:

How to lead and map a needs analysis
brainstorming session

How to define the course goal, and how to map
outcomes and objectives to it

How to map content to the goal, outcomes, and
objectives

How to create collaborative online mind maps

How mind mapping can define the course architecture
for an eLearning course
